Starting in 2024, the company applies the International Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero by 2050 scenario, using a shadow carbon price of USD 90 per ton as a reference for major capital expenditures and operational decisions. Climate risks are incorporated into financial assessments to guide the Company's low-carbon transition. This approach is applied to energy-saving and carbon-reduction projects as well as renewable power initiatives, while encouraging investment in negative-emission technologies and low-carbon innovations to promote further carbon reduction across global operations. Based on a shadow carbon price of USD 90 per metric ton, the procurement of new air compressors and the implementation of various energy-saving and efficiency projects in 2024 are expected to avoid approximately 6,940 metric tons of CO2e in potential carbon costs annually, equivalent to around NT$20 million.
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions:In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) decreased by 15.5% compared with 2021.
- Renewable Energy Deployment: As of 2024, solar panels with a total capacity of 14.86 MW have been installed. An additional 3.0406 MW of solar power capacity is planned to be added in 2025.
- Development of Low-Carbon Products: In 2024, approximately NT$1.04 billion was invested in R&D to develop new energy-saving products and low-carbon services. In addition to reducing raw material usage and production electricity consumption, product light weighting and reduced air consumption also help customers lower their energy usage. In 2024, sales of sustainable products reached approximately NT$6.2 billion, accounting for around 20% of total sales.
- Energy Saving and Emission Reduction:The Company annually evaluates whether its vehicles comply with new environmental regulations and replaces older models as necessary. In 2024, AirTAC China replaced 69 older gasoline vehicles with new energy-efficient models. In 2025, the plan is to retire 109 gasoline vehicles and purchase 100 hybrid vehicles.
- Use of Eco-Friendly Packaging: Eco-friendly packaging is adopted using ink-free printing.
